received. He made letter showing, how
ever. than Billy Smith did upon the same
stage two weeks ago. especially as
the gloves were much smaller. Pat

claimed to weigh under 11S pounds. In
the first round Warren knocked Phalen off
his feet twice. landing each time with his
right squarely on the chin. He also deliv-
cred a number of savage facers with his
left, cutting Phalen's right cheek open. In
the second round he did some effective work,
his left visiting Phalen's face repeatedly,
while his right did good body execution.
Phalen essayed to counter, but generally
fell short. He reached Warren once in the
mouth and at the close delivered swinging
blow that called out applause. In the third
round he made better showing and some
sharp exchanges at close quarters resulted.

Warren had the best OF the round. In the

A DISASTROUS FLOOD.
Montreal and the Adjacent Valley
of the ST. IlaWrence Under Wafer

of the st. Lawrence Under Wafer.
MONTREAL, April 22.-Montreal and the
valley of the st. Lawrence in the immediate
caused by an immense field of lake ice went
crashing into the basin immediately above
Victoria bridge, causing movement in
front of the city. This soon becoming
jammed at the head of st. Helen's island,
caused the water to rise four feet in as
many minutes, flooding Point St. Charles,
Griffintown, st. Paul, McGilI and all other
low-lying cities. The Grand Trunk shops
and yards are under water. The Albion
hotel and Western house have two feet of
water in their diningrooms. St. Annes
market has four feet of water. and Chaboil-
lez square has the appearance of an inland
lake. The Nuns island is Under water and
800 head of cattle are reported drowned.
The Nuns themselves had to flee for their
lives in their night clothes. In the poorer
quarters of the city suffering is great, as
the poor people have no means of obtaining
provisions. Relief committees are now
being formed. On the south side of the
river La Prairie, St. Lambert and Lorgue-
vile are under water. At the latter place,
those living ON the river bank were awak-
ened by the ice cracking into the houses,
carrying away the roofs and the walls.
Some of the people had miraculous escapes.
The fine residence of Richard Swardon
which cost thousands to build, is complete
wreck. At st. Hilaire three two-story
houses are demolished. From the back
river the same disastrous intelligence is re-
ceived. Barns and bridges are carried away,
and there is immense loss of live stock. The
loss to the business community is heavy,
but not as heavy as last year, as many were
prepared for the emergency. The blasting
experiments have proved complete failure,
and have had no effect OH the ice 3 The
water continues to rise in the st. Lawrence
river and all low lying portions of the city
are flooded. In some places it. has reached
a depth of five or six feet. including Griffin
town and Point st. Charles. McGiIl street
as far as Lamoine street is flooded ST.
Annes' market is completely surrounded by
water. The pumping stations are all under
water. The ice is jammed down the river
at SOrrel, and until it breaks the water will
continue to rise. The damage will be enor-
nous. A large amount of live stock has
been drowned and the damage to property
is very great.
The water in all the flooded parts of the
city is rising rapidly. The majority of the
citizens look for the worst. They feel GER
tain that the water will not stop in its
course until it has reached last years mark,
and everything appears to indicate that
their expectations will be fulfilled. At a
meeting of the city council this evening
committees were appointed to supply suffer-
ers with provisions, and to wait ON the fed
eral government with a view to having
them build two bOoms and piers to prevent
the lake ice from coming down.

CALLED TO ACCOUNT.
A Catholic Paper AdmOnished BY
Archbishop Corrigan.

NEW YORK, April 22.-Archbishop Cor
rigan has launched another bolt at the
friends and supporters of DR.. McGlynn.
The Catholic Herald has been staunch
supporter of McGlynn and has directed
some fierce assaults upon the archbishop
and Maj. Preston. Now the archbishop
has struck back. He has addressed letter
to the editor of the Herald in which he calls
attention to the fact that as the Herald as
sumes to be a Catholic paper, it must obey
the injunction which the third plenary
council placed on all Catholic writer's to re-
frain from attacking publicly the manner
in which any bishop rules in his diocese.
He concludes his letter as follows:
For some time past utterances of the
Catholic Herald have been shocktugly scand.
alous. AS this paper Unpublished in the dio-
cese, hereby warn you that if you continue
in this course OF conduct it will be at your
peril"
If this warning is not obeyed, the jour-
nal in question will be publicly denounced
from every Catholic pulpit in the city. AS
this is the first time for many years that
any American Catholic journal has been
condemned, this case will cause wide COM
ment.

CHICAGO, April 22.-President SpaldiDg
was very choleric to-day over a statement

son we made a contract with these two men,
agreeing TO pay Mccormick $3.50 and Kelly
S20O above their salaries if they would alb
stain from the use of malt or spirtuous
hquors. That contract they violated very
soon after it was mutually agreed upon. I
PLEADED with the boys personally. 1t did no
good Then fined them S25. They paid no
attention to it. Indeed. Mccormick said to

Cormick had stopped dissipation after we
nned them we should have paid them the
bonus, although they were not entitled to it.

our men this year do not drink, and they

man who violates his contract, and he will
remember and have no sentiment about it,
We shall no longer endure the criticism of re-
spectacle people because of drunkenness in
the Chicago nine. To say that Kelly and Nc
Cormick have by their dissipated
course won the respect of the lovers
of the game is to insult the intelligent portion
of the community. The Chicago management
will aim to secure the highest standard Of base
ball effort obtainable. In fighting against the
encroachment of drink upon the efficiency of
Individual players, we are simply striving to
give our patrons the full measure of enter
tainment and satisfaction to which they are
entitled. No dollar of stock in our club is
owned by Prohibitionist, but we don't in-
tend to again insult ladies and gentlemen in
this city, or in any other, by allowing men
who are full OF beer and whisky to go upon
the diamond in the uniform of the Chicago
club. Mccormick and Kelly were released
for the reason that they would not quit
drinking. That's the sole reason, and the
strength of the Chicago club has not been at
all weakened by the absence of such men,
